Ok...so you guys got me all jazzed about these hats, as I've been looking for a new "beater" for the woods...fishing, hunting, etc. Well, I knew I had a big noggin'...but heck, I'm an XL. They don't even have them in stock, and are waiting on a shipment from Brazil <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> Stoopid big head of mine, always gets in the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> Did you end up going with the XL? How was the fit?

I ended up putting some filson wax on mine. It changed the color slightly. It's a little darker. But, now I think it's more water resistant.

Yep...my head measured close to 23 3/4" or so with a piece of string. So, I ordered the XL size and everything worked out great. The elastic band inside actually makes it a good snug fit.
It's strange reading back....i know I posted they didn't have any bigguns. Then I went back like two days later and they had it posted for sale, with a delivery expected 05/10/10....so I ordered it. Got it today....seems things work out sometimes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I just treated mine with a good water proofing and man does this thing shed water now. Mind if I ask what you used? Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I just got back from vacation. I used ReviveX Water Repellent.

Thanks for the tip sportsnut. On my next RDB hat, I'll use the Revivex.
